I was just going by what you said:

...Directly contradicting your previous statement unless I'm somehow reading this incorrectly.

You're right, it wouldn't be like Iraq under Hussein. It would be like Iraq
now if not worse.

The question is: Is it worth the lives of Americans, is it worth any degree of chaos in our own homeland, just so you can install your insane, unworkable economic system?

Yes. I agree; many profit-motivated, corrupted corporations exploit the working man daily.

Very intersting.

No. I'd rather see America have the capability to defend itself. I find it sick that some people take this capability for granted and I find it sicker that there are those who would do away with it. It is beyond me why you or anyone would rather put our country in a position where the safety and wellbeing of our citizens would rest in a private corporation that would only defend us if we were the "highest bidder". I'd rather see America employ an economic system where public and private industry can both work side by side and each bring it's own benefits to the country and the people. I'd rather see Americans appreciate what they
do have and make an effort to preserve what they do have. By the way, what do you mean "enslave it's citizens"?
